It's all about the Vinyl Revival (or 'revinyl', if I'm being clever and someone hadn't already coined that 'portmanteau' buzzword !)
As tomorrow is the UK Record Store Day and new outlets for records seem to be springing up all over the place, time to browse into that world from our past. 30 years ago most homes had a record turntable to play music on. Then the CD revolution consigned these decks to the loft and then the record collection was sadly shown the exit door too. 

I have gone on about the value of vinyl on a few occasions, so I will say no more. But the return of vinyl music is here, yet 'How is it that a media format as clunky, costly and fragile as vinyl would become so popular in an age of ubiquitous digital content?'. And a study last year found that 50% of vinyl buyers in the US don’t have a record player ! So this revival is full of questions. I'll add a few links to articles at the end for any curious listeners. 

Need to re-purchase a record turntable ? Today's video features a very sexy vertical turntable, defying gravity (if you have the money - go here). 

Great track from Tracy Chapman 'She's Got Her Ticket' from her debut album in 1988, which at the time was probably the last vinyl LP I bought before CDs took over. Enjoy some very tasty guitar from Jack Holder who was in the band Black Oak Arkansas for two years in the late 70s. >
